Lifelong learning is rising—but are we deepening it or just speeding it up?

At LCIM, our soon-to-launch short courses won’t chase trends, but extend our 2-year degrees—where real industry skills meet creative depth: www.instructure.com/en-au/resour... #EduSkyAU

$260K in lifetime earnings. $22B for the nation.

That’s what we gain when we recognise more of what young people can do—socially, emotionally, creatively.

This isn’t reform. It’s reinvention.

COX Architecture shows how museums can be spaces of encounter—where truth, place & people converge.

What if our schools did the same?

Designed to listen, include & transform. Learning as curation, not control: www.coxarchitecture.com.au/perspective/... #EduSkyAU

We do not find ourselves all at once.

We meet ourselves slowly — in moments of awe, in the arms of strangers, in places that undo and remake us.

Every true encounter is a mirror.
Every step, a summons to become: www.tumblr.com/adrianodipra... #permissionistriumph

The world doesn’t need more managers. It needs more movement-makers.

The Game Changers epilogue is a call to lead with curiosity, compassion, courage and conviction.

Become the leader only you can be: ambapress.com.au/products/gam... #gamechangers #EduSkyAU

It starts with belonging.

In our BDA, students explore identity, voice & design principles across four creative units—Body, Space, Image & Message.

Paper, pleats, purpose.
Fashion meets visual art.

And yes, a cameo from Lady Gaga. #EduSkyAU

Wellbeing isn’t a bolt-on. It’s how we teach, connect & lead.

This Talking Teaching episode explores wellbeing literacy as a lifelong capability—language used for flourishing.

It’s not fluff. It’s framework.
It’s not extra. It’s everything.

Legacy isn’t what you leave behind—it’s what you pass forward.

Six years today since we said goodbye to my father, Antonio. A man of quiet strength, deep conviction, and relentless love.

He built more than homes—he built a life for us with his bare hands, his generous heart, and his unspoken grace.

I miss him, always.

Forever in my heart xx

Alignment is the difference between noise and impact.

Chapter 6 of Game Changers explores how leaders bring coherence to vision, values and action—so communities can truly thrive: ambapress.com.au/products/gam... #gamechangers #EduSkyAU

UNFINISHED GRACE.

AI can finish your sentence.
But it can’t carry your memory, your ache, your wonder.

In a world chasing frictionless output, I’m choosing presence over polish.

AI-exposed jobs are evolving 66% faster—but are our universities keeping pace? Still too much fear, not enough fluency. We need ethical, creative AI literacy at the core of learning.

The future won’t wait.

Melbourne is Australia’s #1 study destination—for good reason.

International students power our economy, culture + future.

Time to stop blaming and start building.

Social entrepreneurship is evolving. The WEF report The Future is Collective shows we need collective action, not solo solutions. For educators, the challenge is clear: nurture collaborators, not competitors. The future is connected & collective.

Report: www.weforum.org/publications... #EduSkyAU

Focus is a radical act in a distracted world.

Chapter 5 of Game Changers unpacks how great leaders align vision, time and energy around what matters most.
Clarity is power.

In a world of constant change, leadership is a compass.

We don’t need faster systems.
We need wiser ones.

Apple’s 2025 paper The Illusion of Thinking exposes just how brittle “reasoning” in AI still is.

Performance collapses under real complexity.
